  • 4,500 Ideas Will Help Shape Hillsboro's Future
    CITY VIEWS NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF HILLSBORO September/October 2014 4,500 Ideas Will Help Shape Hillsboro’s Future A yearlong campaign to encourage the community to suggest ideas for Hill- sboro’s future has paid off. More than 4,300 residents, employees, parents and students took time to contribute approximately 4,500 ideas that will help launch the new Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan, and build on the success of the award-winning 2020 Vision and Action Plan. The Top 5 ideas submitted for the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan: 1. A great school system through investment and targeted improvements (260 suggestions) 2. A more walkable city with extended sidewalks and trail networks (258) 3. Expanded family recreational activities and community events (258) 4. Less traffic through planning, road capacity (255) 5. A water park, major attraction and/or tourist destination (239) What’s next? As the approximately 4,500 ideas and comments are sorted into unique categories, community members will form “theme teams” which will be assigned one of the idea categories. Each theme team will be responsible for reviewing its assigned category’s ideas and developing initiatives to bring those ideas to life over the next 15 to 20 years. continued on page 2 MAYOR’S MESSAGE How the SIP & Gain Share Help Our Community $100 billion. Wow! No matter how many times I see it, the prospect of a $100 billion investment in our community remains staggering. The signing of the 2014 Strategic Investment Program (SIP) agreement between the City of Hillsboro, Washington County, and Intel was historic for our region because it gives us the certainty that our largest employer, Intel, will keep Hillsboro as its international center for research and manufacturing for decades to come – helping us to create and retain jobs, and remain the centerpiece of the high-tech cluster we call the Silicon Forest.

  • APPENDIX B: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT SUMMARY Public Involvement Plan
    APPENDIX B: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT SUMMARY Public Involvement Plan DRAFT Public Involvement Plan Hillsboro Transportation System Plan (TSP) Update (REVISED DRAFT 4-29-16) 1. Introduction and Project Background Proactive and effective citizen involvement is a cornerstone of planning practice, and focused public engagement is crucial to achieve success in land use and transportation planning initiatives that often impact the entire community. Hillsboro residents have consistently expressed an expectation that the City prioritize public engagement to maintain transparency and encourage participation through feedback in the Hillsboro 2020 and 2035 visioning projects, including providing avenues for meaningful citizen involvement, access to information, and opportunities for collaboration, with transparent and inclusive public engagement practices. The Hillsboro Transportation System Plan (TSP) is the community’s adopted guide for building and maintaining Hillsboro’s transportation network. To update the TSP, we will study the existing network and envision what Hillsboro needs for the next 20 years. This plan will balance the needs of those using cars, transit, trucks, bikes and walking paths, and we will seek input from residents, businesses, and all transportation system users. The TSP will consider growth plans and trends in the region, while meeting the transportation needs of Hillsboro. The Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), OAR 660 Division 12 requires jurisdictions throughout Oregon to prepare and adopt regional or local transportation plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (660.012.0015 (2) (4)). Hillsboro’s last TSP update was completed in January 2004, and an update is required to respond to transportation, land use, environmental, population growth, economic and social changes in the community.
